I don't normally do this...

I don't normally do this, but tonight I'm having a drink. I've been dreaming about Dr. Pepper for weeks. GET IN MA MOUF!

So I completed one official week of real college.

So I completed one official week of real college.  GO ME!

Tonight we did real Algebra.  I'm gonna be doing it all weekend to make sure I know how.  The first problems were easy, but then she kept going until I felt like "Shit, now I'm gonna be confused again."  There was really no time to practice in between new things so I felt like that moved faster than I was comfortable with.  But, I'll get it all straightened out this weekend.

In computer class I was freaking out because I hadn't had time to read the 40 pages that the teacher assigned.  Well I thought I'd skim over them before class so I wouldn't be TOO behind and then I LOL'd.  Literally - part of the first chapter is "how to distinguish between desktop computers, laptops, and tablets."  The rest was just simple stuff, too, like "Keyboards and microphones and mice are input devices."  He went over it all during class so now I don't even feel bad that I didn't read it.

I'm not going to say that I can't learn anything from that class because just today I learned where the word "modem" comes from and how those things work (in a very basic sense), but I gotta say this one is moving slower than I'm happy about.  I guess I'm just hard to please.  LOL

Anyway, I think it's all do-able and manageable.  I'm still a total grump every afternoon when I get home, but maybe next week won't be so bad.  My schedule has changed pretty drastically from what it's been over the last few years so it's a big adjustment and I feel worn out.  But I'm sure I'll get all sorted out soon.  I hope!

So I've almost decided...

So I've almost decided that I need two torts now.  Since Tort Baby likes to hang in my jacket I think I could get away with taking them everywhere... if only I had two that were a similar size...  😉😜

Taking a quick break.

Taking a quick break. I feel like I've been going non - stop all day. 😳

This morning in English we had to write an essay introducing ourselves. The teacher said to do it however you thought an essay was supposed to be written. It was an assignment that was meant to gauge where we are as a class.

Almost everyone finished before I did - I might have been the last one out of the class at exactly 9:14 when it lets out. 😂 I hope I don't look like I'm kissing ass. I just wanted to do a good job.

I gotta say - it was REALLY hard writing without emoticons. I guess I have to get used to that!

So tired and grumpy. I'm done with this day.

So tired and grumpy.  I'm done with this day.  Gotta be up at 6 again so woo for that.

I'm not even through one week of classes + work and I'm a total Grumpasaurus.  I've been snappy with Shaun, Shadow, AND my dogs - and I've had a twitching eyelid for DAYS.  😳  I'm hoping I calm down once I settle into this.  I think part of my problem is anxiety - I wish classes would start doing real work so I don't have to worry that I'm gonna suck at it.  I think I'll feel much better when I actually start doing things instead of just hearing about it.

At least now the first days of all of my classes are out of the way.  If we can get that stupid Blackboard thing worked out soon I'll feel a lot better about that, too.

Goodnight, Internet.  ❤

Ok, computer class wasn't short. 😂

Ok, computer class wasn't short. 😂 The teacher talked the whole time. The class looks easy enough, but my online Blackboard account doesn't have any of my classes in it so I can't do anything until that's fixed.

I also apparently sat at the ONE computer in the room that was having Internet problems. I guess I'm not off to the best start, but I'll get things sorted out in short order so it will be ok.

Me and Tort Baby are heading to my bedroom to see if we can figure some shit out. Later, Internet. ❤

Sitting in computer class.

Sitting in computer class. It will probably just be talking and then going home like the rest. But I'm excited anyway! 😃
